Believe it or not. Susan Boyle wowed the judges and the audience with her extraordinary and astounding voice. She doesn't look pretty at all, and not to mention her age and learning disability. The moment she stood at the stage, when she was asked about her dream, people laughed at her because those dreams sounded stupid considering her external appearance and age. So the judges, especially Simon Cowell, without taking much interest in her simply let her to perform the performance she was about to give.
So that's the moment when the biggest amazement ever was about to take everyone from forth to back and side to side. With great confidence emitting constantly from her entire being, she sang a song which title is "I dreamed a dream" and as she sang the first note, people were just amazed at her angelic voice including myself. I was stunned by her performance by watching Youtube, and you can imagine those audience who attended her show that remarkable night, I bet they all must have had a remarkable memory about her! After finished singing her song, standing ovation was given and of course deafening cheers.
If you ask me, I don't think I know how to appreciate people's singing skill, but even as unprofessional as I am in this area, I know that that was a superb performance ever presented and her voice doesn't take a professional to tell how good it is.
Ironically, I just read about her news in paper last night and the moment I saw this woman I was like "what makes you deserve to be famous"? And I even thought of maybe UK has got no better looking and talented people so that's why she was chosen. And as chance would have it, I received an email talking about how God had used this woman to prove many wrong, because all too often, we human being tend to JUDGE THE BOOK BY ITS COVER, aren't we??? This is truly an occurence worth pondering.
Ever wondered why I would spend time to write this topic? The reason is simple, because there are many great lessons behind this lovely performance which performed by this unlovely woman! In the end of the day, her look didn't take into consideration anymore, isn't it unbelievable? What matters in the end is her voice, yes, it's the voice that COUNTS!! Isn't it ironic, since none of the judges and audience had had any expectation on her and yet she dropped everyone's jaws in the end?
The lesson I learnt today is do not judge the book by its cover! I started to reflect on the occasion which I had underestimated anyone in my life, intentionally or unintentionally. Some people are always outstanding in everything they do because they are highly educated and also their well-to-do background. Some people are always loser, without much education or even ILLITERATE.
At first glance, winners are always winners, losers are always losers. But today, not only we heard about the story of Susan, but there are also a lot of good examples among our community that those who hide themselves and who has always been regarded as loser, has taken many of us by surprise and the result and achievement in their life have broadly surpassed those so called winner. They are just slow and probably need some time to catch up, but that doesn't rule out the possibility of success.
Ever heard of "DARK HORSE"? So don't make conclusion of a person's success or failure by looking at thier life, because YOU'LL NEVER KNOW what would happen in future. And this is truly a good lesson for those who LOVES TO UNDERESTIMATE people's ability. I hope that you and I have learnt something today.
